Batman: Return of the Joker, known in Japan as Dynamite Batman (ダイナマイトバットマン Dainamaito Battoman?), is the follow-up to Sunsoft's first Batman game on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Unlike that game, which was based on the 1989 Batman film by Tim Burton, Return of the Joker is entirely self-contained and based more on the modern comic book iteration of Batman. However, Batman mans the Batmobile from the 1989 film. A remake of Return of the Joker, titled Batman: Revenge of the Joker, was released on the Sega Genesis by Ringler Studios in 1992. A Super Nintendo version of the game was in development but never released, however a prototyped board of the SNES version does exist and can also be played on a SNES emulator.
A completely different version of the game was released on the Game Boy in 1992.
